Install the post-page associator plugin. Then create pages and configure your settings at the bottom of the page to direct them there. It allows you to filter what categories are shown on each page

Make sure your categories are organized as “parent” and sub categories if you have more than one category for the desired page.

Also, I am having problems with the format of my post pages. If you look at the picture pages, they appear to flow as one post with the title “pictures” in a format which is different than how they were posted.

I am sure it has to do with my page and post association plugins, but I am unsure how to revert these pages to the archives of the posts.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful input. The media I have on the site at this point was submitted by friends and other hunters that wanted to provide some content to get the format started. As people begin filling out the form to submitting their pictures directly through the site, I have planned on having some basic information about the image to post as it’s title and description. (Thanks for noticing this)

I have wanted to change the page/map structure into a more clearly organized manner like you suggest with the menu page, but the last time I witched up the permalink structure something went a little haywire and messed up its sync with google analytics. I have been filtering which posts appear on each page with the page association plugin to organize them by category. Do you have any suggestions on how to improve this?

As far as the lightbox goes, I have the photoQ plugin active so that I can have the content update automatically, and all of the images I have on the site were uploaded via photoQ and not the media library. I have the lightbox active, but I cannot seem to figure out the method to use the shortcode to activate this option. I would like to be able to utilize a “shadowbox?” (similar to facebook) image for viewing the image on our site without linking it to an empty page or redirecting the users location. Is NextGen photo gallery a good option to use?

As for the trophy gallery, I have not had any images submitted to that section yet, but I am working with taxidermists to showcase their images of animals they have mounted to have a constant flow of quality content and another method of promoting/marketing their business and our site.

I know these are very basic questions for most wordpress users, but I am trying to make the best site I can with my limited knowledge. Thanks again for your input and help.

Hey,

I am a senior at USC and recently launched a wordpress site, I’ve been looking for a group as well…Have you had any luck?

I don’t personally have a hunting dog, but many of my friends do and generally there is at least one with us while hunting birds (Duck, dove, quail, etc.). Labs are the most common for bird hunting, but hounds are commonly used for stirring up the deer while “dog hunting.”

Thanks for the feedback, your site is pretty clever/unique. Looks like you generate a good bit of traffic as well. This particular site has only been active for a couple weeks, still trying to tweak the format. Any tips on increasing traffic?

like the format, I’ll check back to see how you implement your content into posts
